I can happily romp up Highgate West or Muswell Hill in 46x17, but no way on the Catford climb... I've come 5th in that event riding 39x20 FYI.
Wet leaves mean riding tyres a bit softer than usual, but a smooth pedal stroke can also limit wheelspin - easier said than done on a 1 in 4 when you lost consciousness 100m ago :p
